Bottle. Pours very dark brown. Burnt caramel on nose. Chocolate and more burnt notes in glass. A pleasant enough sipper, but I prefer a straightforward brown.

330ml bottle into schooner glass. Dark red/brown beer with foamy cream-coloured head. Some lacing. Nose is cocoa and instant coffee. Lightly bitter and refreshing with subdued chocolate notes. Very light touch of fruit in the finish followed by a long note of mild sarsaparilla. I'm drinking this ice cold in the middle of summer so probably more flavourful when a bit warmer. Still nice,though.

Tap at the brewery. Poured a clear dark brown, almost black with a thin off white head and clingy lace. The aroma is roasted malt, light dry coffee, dark chocolate. The flavour is moderate bitter with a dry roasty, liqourice, fruity hop bitter palate and a lingering smoky bitter finish. Billed as a Dark Ale at the brewery. Porter like with some black IPA characteristics too. Not an English Brown Ale for me at all.

From a 330ml bottle on 21/7/2016. Pours a deep brown with little in the way of head. The aroma features a bit of chocolate, caramel and nail polish remover. Flavour wise, you get a fair bit of chocolate malt, with a weird herbal, tart combination. Light bodied with average carbonation. I have no idea what they were going for here, but it comes across as a bit rough and unbalanced. It’s always an adventure with Moon Dog, but this one is a miss.

Bottle from Brewcraft at home. Clear-ish cola brown with dense bubbly head. Aroma is very dark bready with some bitterness. Taste is a bit empty but mostly bitter dark roasted bready flavors. Not bad.
